“Lady Li, those few people are all ruffians in the village.” Although Hu Youning was very grateful for Li Ruantang’s willingness to help, she looked sickly. If something really happened, he was afraid the Hu family’s fate would be even more miserable.
Hu Youning’s eyes turned red, but he couldn’t bear to see his parents sighing all day long.
At worst, he would use himself to pay off the debt.
“Young Master Hu, there is a turning point in everything.” Li Ruantang sighed softly, “Since I have received the life-saving grace of Madam Hu, I have no reason to sit by and do nothing.”
“Just trust me.” She gestured for Hu Youning to go back to the main hall first.
“Wife-master.” Meng Jun, who had been hiding in the room and listening for half a day, finally understood why Madam Hu had initially targeted him. He was angry, and his face poking out from the door turned cold.
“Jiu Jiu, hurry and hide.” Hu Youning had been hiding at his uncle’s house for a few days and had just returned in the early morning. He had no idea about Madam Hu’s intentions.
“Fu Lanxian is a ruffian. Relying on her family’s money, she doesn’t let go of any male concubine in the village with a bit of beauty.” Hu Youning anxiously persuaded Jiu Jiu to hide in the room.
The young gentleman pursed his lips, his fingers hidden in his sleeves digging into his palms.
If he hadn’t overheard Madam Hu’s scheme, he wouldn’t have pretended to be Li Ruantang’s husband and told such a huge lie.
Originally, Meng Jun wanted Li Ruantang not to interfere in other people’s family affairs.
But Youning was innocent.
Even if the adults were at fault, he couldn’t implicate Hu Youning who knew nothing.
The young gentleman tugged on Li Ruantang’s sleeve, “Wife-master, there are many of them, you alone……”
His worry was clearly written in his eyes.
“Don’t be afraid, just wait for me in the kitchen with Young Master Hu.”
Li Ruantang smiled at him reassuringly and sent the two young masters into the room before carefully closing the door and slowly walking out.
Fu Lanxian, who was making a scene outside, had long run out of patience. She lifted her skirt and raised her foot, about to step on the courtyard gate.
Creak–the door panel suddenly opened inward.
Fu Lanxian’s foot met air and she almost stumbled. “So you’re the noble person Madam Hu picked up?” Her tone was still aggressive. She steadied herself and looked left and right, immediately surrounded by four or five people.
Li Ruantang slightly frowned.
Fu Lanxian raised her eyebrows and glanced at Li Ruantang’s waist, not seeing any jade. She immediately snorted coldly, “I thought it was some incredible person. Madam Hu hasn’t seen the world, but I, Fu Lanxian, am not easily fooled.”
“Paying back debts is a matter of course. Even if the Heavenly King himself came today, if the Hu family can’t pay back the money, they’ll have to use Hu Youning to pay off the debt!”
“That’s right, pay off the debt!”
“The son pays for the mother’s debts!” The few who had just received the copper coins immediately echoed.
Fu Lanxian waved her hand, signaling for them to be quiet. The corner of her mouth curved and she glanced at the cotton cloth wrapped around Li Ruantang’s forehead, “However, I’m a reasonable person.”
“Since you’re not part of the Hu family, as long as you don’t interfere in this matter, I’ll spare your dog life. How about it?”

If you’re like me…
Too tired of reading stories where the female lead is often foolish, weak, feeble both physically and mentally, usually in a subservient and oppressed role in society such as a maid, secretary, concubine… or to put it bluntly, typically the one who has to serve and please the male lead, always needing protection and rescue from male leads, while the male lead is often described as talented, strikingly handsome, powerful,…
Then please continue reading.
Hi there, girls!
I’m Yuushi L.
Every day, movies and comics continuously reinforce the notion that women are weak, that they can only handle trivial matters in the background, that women are petty-minded and constantly jealous, mocking, and laughing at other women, while men are strong, wealthy, and solely focused on conquering the world, with countless mindless women ready to fall into their arms.
Believe me, once you read Female-dominant (FEDO) novels, your mindset will change significantly.
I am deeply inspired by strong, independent, and rational women who have the power to take control of their lives, and I am fascinated by the way society’s gender roles are reversed in this genre compared to real life.
So I have created this web with the noble purpose of promoting the “Female-dominant (FEDO)” genre of novels.
In my country, there was a rare renowned female poet in ancient times who wrote the following about the fate of women in that era:
“Damn this life of sharing a husband,
One wrapped in warmth, the other left cold.
I’d rather have stayed single from the start,
Than to endure a life so torn apart.”
Perhaps my penchant for reading female-dominant stories is partly a way of rebelling against the realities of life.
On my site, there will be stories that are not only female-dominant novels, as long as they align with my taste, featuring strong female protagonists and fresh, captivating storylines. Usually, they will be modern or fantasy novels.
I rarely read ancient novels that aren’t female-dominant because they often contain details that easily trigger me. These include the portrayal of men having multiple wives and concubines, which was considered utterly normal in ancient society, and the frequent disdain towards women.
I cannot change the world, as the societal structure that discriminates against women and elevates men has existed for thousands of years. Changing it to truly give women an equal role in society is not something that can happen overnight. If you want gender equality now, it’s laughable. It will never happen when over 90% of national and business leaders are men.
But I can start by changing the mindset of women, sisters, and young girls. Don’t just read dull slogans urging women to be strong and independent; it’s hard to imagine. Read Female-dominant (FEDO) novels to see clearly what true female empowerment looks like.
I believe there will be more and more independent and strong women who prioritize their careers and personal stability over seeking a man to rely on.
In the future, there will be more successful female entrepreneurs, politicians, and thought leaders.
As for me, I will start by making this website grow stronger day by day.
I especially like the concept of “the male lead falls in love first, the female lead is the cold-hearted and rational one, and the male lead suffers because the female lead doesn’t reciprocate his feelings.”
Therefore, you’ll see that most of the novels on my website will belong to this trope. Of course, there will be exceptions.
In the future, I also plan to write my own novels following this concept, where the female lead in my stories will never be the weaker party. I hope I can do it soon.
The novels I highly recommend will be listed under the category:
There will be exceptionally brilliant stories, but there will also be mediocre ones. As the Female-dominant (FEDO) genre has fewer authors and readers, the number of high-quality novels is limited.
Therefore, I want to promote this genre to reach a wider audience, which will encourage more talented authors to choose to write in this style, leading to the birth of more outstanding Female-dominant (FEDO) novels.
The Chinese versions of the novels I use for translation are all sourced from various websites on the internet. You know, I don’t have much budget to purchase so many novels.
Therefore, if your financial situation allows, please support the authors by purchasing the original works. You can find the original works using the Chinese titles of the novels.

WARNING:
In some novels, there are certain unhealthy ideologies and illegal actions held by the main characters (for example, treating human lives as worthless, or casually deciding to kill someone, forcing others to do things they don’t want to do, arbitrarily imprisoning others, plotting to harm others, using violence to retaliate against violence,…).
This may be because the authors are still young and inexperienced, unaware that what they’re writing goes beyond moral standards and can negatively influence young readers.
It’s important that readers under 18 years old need to recognize these are illegal actions, not permitted to be carried out in real life, always keep a clear head while reading, treat these works only as entertainment, and don’t let yourself be influenced by those plot points.
